V2:
- Defer changing BPF-syscall to start at file-descriptor 1
- Use {} to zero initialise struct.
The recent commit fbee97feed ("bpf: Add support to attach bpf program to a
devmap entry"), introduced ability to attach (and run) a separate XDP
bpf_prog for each devmap entry. A bpf_prog is added via a file-descriptor.
As zero were a valid FD, not using the feature requires using value minus-1.
The UAPI is extended via tail-extending struct bpf_devmap_val and using
map->value_size to determine the feature set.
This will break older userspace applications not using the bpf_prog feature.
Consider an old userspace app that is compiled against newer kernel
uapi/bpf.h, it will not know that it need to initialise the member
bpf_prog.fd to minus-1. Thus, users will be forced to update source code to
get program running on newer kernels.
This patch remove the minus-1 checks, and have zero mean feature isn't used.
Followup patches either for kernel or libbpf should handle and avoid
returning file-descriptor zero in the first place.
